Cecelia huffed, glaring daggers at Flora. To be honest, Flora was stunning. Even with a mask on, she had a presence that made her stand out in any crowd, hinting at ssort of otherworldly beauty beneath it.
But every tCecelia thought about how everyone at the office compared her to Flora-praising Flora to the skies and speculating that Cecelia's top spot was in jeopardy now that Flora was here-she couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.
Still, her resentment wasn't deep-seated; she was just a fiery young woman who hated losing and had a sharp tongue to match.
Listening to Cecelia's brazen comments, Tony's lips quivered. "No... uh... Cecelia... This is Ms. Flora... Mr. Raul's sister..." "I don't care who she is. Am I supposed to be scared of her? She-" Cecelia was about to continue when she abruptly stopped, her body stiffening as she turned to Tony, her voice tight. "What did you say?" She must have misheard...
Tony looked at her with a tragic expression. "She is Ms. Flora, Mr. Raul's biological sister." He put extra emphasis on "biological." Cecelia's brain short-circuited.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe! She was Mr. Raul's biological sister! Her legs turned to jelly, and she almost collapsed right there. "M-Ms. Flora!" she stammered.
Flora gave her a chilly glance, brushed past her, and walked away without another word.
Two words flashed through Cecelia's mind.
I'm doomed! She had offended Mr. Raul's sister. Could she even stick around at Florik Entertainment now? After exploring the office, Flora asked Tony to take her to Henrik. As it happened, Henrik was on his way to see her, and they met at the office door.
"How was your tour?" Henrik asked softly as he approached.
"Not bad," Flora replied, blinking and looping her arm through his. "Bro, you're incredible, running such a huge company all on your own!" "Not as incredible as you, Flora." Henrik chuckled, patting her head gently.
Tony, seeing Flora act so affectionate towards Henrik, could hardly believe his eyes. This was classic Flora: cold, proud, and imposing in front of strangers, but a total sweetheart with her family.
"But bro, I noticed a few areas where we could make improvements. I might be wrong, but you should hearout..." "Let's talk inside." Henrik led her in, seating her on the sofa and pouring her a glass of water before sitting beside her to listen intently.
Flora spoke concisely, and Henrik listened, his expression shifting from frowns to nods of understanding.
"What do you think, bro?" Flora asked, blinking up at Henrik when she finished.
Henrik chuckled softly, his eyes twinkling. "Having a sister like you is my greatest fortune." He felt so lucky to have such an amazing sister.
Flora smiled, her eyes sparkling with laughter.

Just then, a knock cat the door.
It opened slightly, and Cecelia's head peeked in. "Hehehe..." "Cecelia?" Henrik said, surprised to see her.
"Mr. Raul, may I cin?" Cecelia asked, glancing nervously, at Flora sitting beside Henrik. "Please, cin," Henrik nodded gently.
Cecelia pushed the door open and walked in, carrying a freshly brewed vey ppt of tea. "Do you need something?" Henrik asked warmly.
"I've cto apologize..." X
